It must be exhausting having to monitor this entire forum all by yourself.

No, it is very easy. So easy, in fact, one would think that those who do moderate the site would be able to do so more often. Do we even see half of the mods here? Maybe a few members who actually still visit and use the site regularly could be added to the staff.

Yeah, you changed your post pretty quickly, didn't you?

While I do think that searching is a rule (and moreso just common sense), I'd think mod bashing is up there on the list of things NOT to do...just sayin'.

Sorry, I have better things to do, and don't really need to be told what I should do. Thank you for your constant effort in making a perfect gamecock utopia. Sorry for hindering your extraordinary efforts.

My question is why have the Cockytalk Guidelines/FAQ if the rules are not followed nor actively enforced? I never call anyone out for anything that was not established by the Hoskins themselves when they wrote the rules in the first place.

Cheezy, do you have a "report" button?

Healthy debate is encouraged. CockyTalk prides itself on being a wonderful place to hold a civilized conversation. Please do your part to keep it up to code. Disagreement can take place without rudeness or disrespect. For your own sake, if you wish to continue enjoying CockyTalk, learn how to disagree respectfully. If you do not like a post for its content or its author, it's best to hit the back button on your browser rather than giving your heated two cents. Since you are expected to act like adults, any allusions to immaturity will draw the attention of our moderators.

Of course I do, and I have used it. However, moderators relying on users to moderate for them by report button proxy shows again that perhaps there isn't the amount of coverage there could be. I'm not trying to bash anyone. I just don't understand why people can disobey the rules if it is convienent to them. Why is everyone quick to break ettiquette, but even quicker to jump all over someone trying to point out the violation. If I report this, sure, it might eventually get fixed, but will the violator learn anything? Will they know what they did wrong as to correct themselves in the future? Why have these rules at all? If no one likes them, or follows them, get rid of the rules. Then, you'll never hear about it again.

We've seen what can happen when there is no control, no rules, and users can post the same topic ad nauseum and clog up the messageboard. It's called Tigernet. Do you want Tigernet? Cuz that's how you get Tigernet.

If you have issues with the management/moderation of this board, DO NOT post them on the open board, direct a PM to the moderator you have issues with/questions about and if you cannot get a satisfactory result from them contact the board admin, again via PM, DO NOT ADDRESS THESE ISSUES ON THE OPEN BOARD
